Font selection is currently handled for macOS through NSFontManager, but the same functionality needs to be handled through UIFont for other systems.

• Background
  • Color
  • Image
• Border
• Font
  • Family
  • Color
  • Size
  • Style (normal, italic)
  • Weight (normal (400), bold (700), Number (1-1000))

Add the ability to reference an asset into another one

• Add reference element
• Refactor elements to support the 3D coordinate system
• Show bounding box for reference elements
• Add lighting support in the asset editor
• Support animations from referenced assets
• Add a timing animation track for referenced assets (one track for precise frame time and another for replay speed)

Implement a multi-layer texture packer to match texture coordinates across multiple textures (albedo, normals, emission, etc.) for the same sprites

• Add a timing animation track for referenced assets (one track for precise frame time and another for replay speed)
• Add an animation track to control the animation state of the referenced assets

Improve CKUIButton to support images or text

• Assets are placed with an incorrect offset
• Adding an asset doesn't seem to trigger the "dirty" flag for the map
• Assets can't be selected or removed in the map editor
• Lighting is incorrect

Right now, the shaders are a complete naive implementation with a lot of issues in a variety of scenarios. We have to implement a real PBR solution as we probably have all the components available.

• Support animations from referenced assets
• Ability to select the animation state of the referenced assets
• Test support for referenced assets in referenced assets

Our current animation states are not "states" in essence, but contain only animation data. We should rename them in the code.

Hi, I stumbled upon this toolkit by chance. Can I ask a few questions?

1. Is development currently in progress?
   2.What is the goal of this toolkit? Is it possible to achieve something similar to Unity2D?

Thank you for your open-source code.

XMLDocument and asssociated classes are only available on macOS, and XMLParser does not currently validate documents against XSD.

Write an editor-only XML validator to help with document error detection

AssetDescriptionSceneView
The bounding box is not correctly displayed when zoomFactor != 1

Map blocks are not lit correctly when placed against other assets. Ground planes should be at relative height 0 instead of 1

• In the editor
• At runtime

Currenly, UI updates on every frame for all controls, without any consideration for the actual need of an update. We need to optimize this behavior.

• Adapt assets to make them interactive or not in the map editor (not interactive by default)
• Ability to toggle asset interactivity at runtime
• Pick a map cell (can be picked through non-interactive assets)
• Pick an interactive asset

Create a visual identity for CiderKit

• Icon
• Social images for the repository
• Updating the documentation to reflect that

When resizing a windows containing a GameView instance with apps like Rectangle or Moom, the scene is not correctly resized.

CiderKit is currently a sub-project in a workspace. Making it a proper package will improve flexibility for end-users, and facilitate distribution.

However, it doesn't seem possible to bundle macOS apps directly inside a Swift package, making it impossible to distribute the editor this way. May work for the engine part though.

It is mandatory to be able to instantiate assets flipped horizontally, with corresponding transformations for the normal and position maps.
This need to be possible in maps and in nested assets.

AssetDescriptionView: The animation frequently doesn't play

Closing the Asset Editor and reopening it will make it work
Changing assets can break animation playback
Switching to another animation state can fix the issue for a specific asset

Add the ability to duplicate assets in the asset editor

Play animations in loop for assets on maps

Assets are not updated when parameters are changed in the editor

For example, checking the "Horizontally Flipped" checkbox does not flip the asset immediately (works after save and reload though)

Plus, the world position is not kept when updating the asset.

Ability to instantiate an asset on the map at runtime

Because the outline is a child node of the actual asset instance nodes, they are displayed with the wrong colors. We should extract them from the asset instances and draw them separately.
